^ Whats to explain, He Knows It's horrible to drive with car with a blown head gasket, But his mother won't set foot in the Plymouth, so what can he do? He Can't make his parents stop driving it if they refuse to.

I'm sure if it were CAH's Car and he were able to make all the decisions, it would be parked till he could do the head gasket

It's a Honda

Looks good, sad to see its not in good shape headgasket wise.... u should unplug your main relay or something so u force your parents to drive something else so they think its broken,

[turabaka]

^^ That sounds like an excellent idea Granite. CAH just because it's a Honda doesn't mean it's going to survive driving with a blown head gasket. Not driving the car for awhile is better than having to replace the entire engine.

It's a Honda

he could disable it

[knarg]

you shouldn't just use electrical tape to protect those connections, you need to use heatshrink tubing

also stands the chance of vibrating the connections out of place..

[Civic Accord Honda]

there crimped on to some 0 ring terminals i just put the tape over them so nothing touchs the contacts but i do plan on getting some heat shrink since it looks better

it doesn't just look better, it's VERY important for insulation and protection

[Civic Accord Honda]

indeed ^

[lostforawhile]

if i could ever find it again,someone used to make heat shrink electrical tape,pretty trick idea,you taped it,then it shrunk into one piece with heat.
